Bug Description

After the upload of the new system-tools-backends (1.9.7-0ubuntu1) and liboobs (0.6.0-0ubuntu1) that fixed [#59690 [network-admin] Static IP configuration doesn't adds the default route to the gateway], I get the following behavior.

If I only change the gateway on my wireless connection (eth1) to 192.168.0.200, it is correctly changed in my /etc/network/interfaces file, but I've got no more WiFi connectivity because two fields are overwritten. I get :

wireless-essid 192.168.0.200
wireless-key s:1

I'm used to have a correct network name "ubuntu" and a correct wireless key too.

I can confirm that.
Changing the gateway with network-admin change also wireless-essid & wireless-key in /etc/network/interfaces.

I've got the same problem since the problem with the gateway is solved.
Now essid and key are corrupted.
So I have to repair it manually with iwconfig everytime I start my computer.
